Wednesday, March 10, 2010 I swear I found this by accident while surfing ComicsAlliance.com this week:
This image is one of very many risque fanboy-friendly wallpaper calendars downloadable from PortalComic.com. It appears to be a comics-related site, and a little poking around reveals some pretty impressive (and largely NSFW) bad girl art. The site is entirely in Spanish, and I don't speak or read Spanish so I have no idea what is going on over there. However, you'll note that their Booster costume has an old-school high collar, so clearly their heart is in the right place. Comments (3) | Add a Comment
tiggerpete Posted on Mar. 10, 2010 at 02:02:44 PM which Earth is it that has the gender roles reversed? isn't it like Earth-48 or something?
tiggerpete Posted on Mar. 10, 2010 at 02:14:26 PM having reviewed a few of the other calenders, they range from interesting to just wrong (see "Iron Woman" for what IMO is the worst)
Boosterrific Posted on Mar. 10, 2010 at 02:47:32 PM [Official Comment]: I thought the same thing about Iron Woman when I first saw her, but then I thought about it. In the right context, it's perfectly reasonable to replace the Uni-beam with Headlights. (And the gender roles reversed world is Earth-11 in the modern 52-verse.)
Tuesday, March 9, 2010 While I'm on the subject of fan tributes to Booster Gold, I should mention another blog post I ran across this past weekend. Minor Henchman finished his highly-subjective list of the 100 greatest comics covers of the past 20 years, and while no cover in the list features Booster Gold, Booster does appear in 2 of the comics: Justice League International #18 and Chase #6. JLI 18 is a fun cover, sure, but hardly the best of the Maguire Justice League covers. (Justice League #4 is far superior, but I'm certainly biased.) While I can't say as I agree with many of Minor Henchman's choices, the list is worth a look-see, if only to see if you agree with it yourself. Comments (0) | Add a Comment
